Reds released RHP Kerry Ligtenberg.

It appears they wanted to give him a chance to catch on elsewhere. Ligtenberg had allowed one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings this spring. The 35-year-old may elect to retire rather than spend another year in Triple-A. Fri, Mar 16, 2007 01:39:00 PM

Reds signed RHP Kerry Ligtenberg to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Ligtenberg had a 3.57 ERA and 18 saves for Triple-A Iowa last season. The 35-year-old last pitched in the majors with the Diamondbacks in 2005 and had a 13.97 ERA in 9 2/3 innings. He shouldn't make the Reds. Wed, Feb 14, 2007 03:54:00 PM

Kerry Ligtenberg pitched two scoreless innings Monday in his second appearance for Triple-A Iowa.

Ligtenberg, who was let go by the Marlins even though he opened his spring with 8 2/3 scoreless innings, might be a candidate for the Cub pen later on. Tue, Apr 25, 2006 03:05:00 PM

Marlins released RHP Kerry Ligtenberg.

A victim of the Todd Wellemeyer acquisition, apparently. Ligtenberg had pitched 8 2/3 scoreless innings before giving up three runs his last time out. That success should guarantee that he's not a free agent for long. Wed, Mar 29, 2006 01:51:00 PM

Mesoraco needed season-ending surgery in May to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and then underwent a procedure on his troublesome hip in July. Reds general manager Dick Williams said the club is anticipating Mesoraco being 100 percent for the beginning of the 2017 season but noted that "it's important to prepare a contingency plan." Mesoraco has made just 18 starts behind the plate (and 22 starts total) over the last two years.
